Summary
Emily Loftiss thought she knew what motherhood would look like... until her son Dalton was diagnosed with autism at 2.5 years old. In this deeply honest conversation, Emily shares the emotional journey of raising a nonverbal autistic child, the hardest moments after his diagnosis, how she and her husband have navigated the unknown together, and why she refuses to give up hope. She also opens up about finding joy in the middle of heartbreak, celebrating every small victory, and the advice every parent, whether raising a neurotypical or neurodivergent child, needs to hear.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the baby gang. I am your host Becca Tobin and thank you to our presenting sponsor, Better Help. You guys, what I just went through over the last, I don't know, four hours. You know, I told you about how I was receiving breast milk from the wonderful Sarah, and I have a freezer full of breast milk, |
| 0:24.8 | like liquid gold, invaluable, all the things. I was out running errands, and I was in a |
| 0:31.9 | Walgreens picking up some pictures that I printed for Father's Day, and suddenly the lights go out, |
| 0:37.0 | and everything turns off. |
| 0:38.2 | Total power outage. I'm like, oh, that's weird. So I leave, I go home, and I get home, and I realize, |
| 0:44.7 | hmm, my garage door isn't opening. That means we've also lost power. I call my neighbor. She |
| 0:50.0 | confirms no power. I think to myself, that's okay. I can go run more errands. I can go whatever. |
| 0:56.3 | Then I think, oh my God, oh my God. If the power's out, the freezer turns off. And if the |
| 1:01.5 | freezer turns off, that frozen breast milk is going to be ruined. I frantically, oh, oh, |
| 1:07.2 | this is even better. Not better. Worse. I can't open my garage door because of the power being out. And I don't have a key to my house. So I can't even get into my house to save, to rescue the breast milk and take it to another friend's house who has power. So I call Zach and he's like, it's fine. Just keep the freezer closed. I'm like, well, little does he know that I can't even open at the moment. But keep it closed. It can be good for up to several hours. You're fine. So then I'm like, okay, well, when is this power coming back on? We're not told we're getting no information. It's the weirdest thing ever. So I'm like, okay, I'm going to go. I'm have some lunch, I'm going to run some more errands, and I'm just going to keep checking in to see if the power's back on, see if the powers back on. Hours go by. Hours and hours. And I'm thinking, am I going to break a window? Am I going to call locksmith? I finally get back to my house. Power's still out. I'm in the driveway, and I'm about to call the locksmith and suddenly the |
| 2:00.9 | garage door opens. I run out of my car like it's about to explode because I've got to get into this house. I've got to check on the freezer. I've got to check on the breast milk. Thankfully, the freezer's back on. The breast milk is still frozen. But holy shit, you guys, let this be a lesson to you. don't be a dumb dumb. Be prepared for your power going out. I don't know why I was not |
| 2:19.5 | walking around with a house key to my house. I was just walking around with my freaking car keys. |
| 2:25.5 | Why don't I have a house key on them? I'll never know. Now I do. But wow, I'm a dumbass. |
| 2:31.2 | But that was my day. That was my morning. I'm happy to be here with you. |
